The Dubois County Health Department is now offering flu vaccinations for any individuals wanting to protect themselves this flu season.

Daily walk-in flu shots are available from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm Monday - Friday.

You may also use our convenient drive-thru between 8:30-3:30 pm Monday - Friday. The drive-thru option is open to any individuals 12 years of age and older. This is a safe and effective way to get your family vaccinated against the flu this year without ever leaving your car! We encourage everyone to come experience the convenience of our drive-thru option.

The flu vaccine is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private health insurances.

LOCATION: Follow the signs to our drive-thru at 1187 South Saint Charles Street. Participants are asked to approach the Health Department from the north side. The best method will be US 231 to Division Rd and then south on Saint Charles St. Please have your ID and insurance cards available. A consent form (available on our website) is required for anyone under the age of 18 and not accompanied by a parent.

To accommodate after hour vaccinations, we will also be holding two late night vaccine clinics at the Dubois County Health Department on the following dates: (no appointment needed)

1. September 20, 2023, from 3:30pm to 6:00pm

2. October 11, 2023, from 3:30pm to 6:00pm

All vaccines will be available inside the building and the drive-thru option will be flu only.

A new group has been started at JMS to help with two specific missions: 1) to provide students who are new to our school with a welcome gift that includes a few Jasper spirit pieces and 2) to help students throughout the year who need clothing items provided for them. Our first initiative is to help get more spirit wear out to people . . . parents, siblings, grandparents, students . . . so that everyone has a chance to show their Jasper pride. We have set up an online store for people to purchase from. A portion of all sales will go into the Welcoming Wildcats fund. Additionally, on the store is a DONATE button where people can simply donate to our mission if they don’t want to purchase anything or in addition to their purchase. Please check out the online store at THIS LINK. Or, see the attached flyer. There are items at various price points, quality, and name brands.
